Role Breakdown: What Each Pal Does
A cake base has more distinct roles than most other base types because cake requires harvested crops and ranch-produced ingredients. Here is what each role contributes.
Planting
LyleenPlants wheat and other crops needed for cake ingredients.
Lyleen has the highest Planting level in the game. Place multiple copies for faster crop cycles.
Watering
JormuntideWaters crops automatically so they grow faster.
Jormuntide is the best watering specialist. Its high Watering suitability keeps crops hydrated without requiring attention.
Kindling
Jormuntide IgnisPowers cooking pots to bake cakes and process ingredients.
Jormuntide Ignis is the top Kindling worker. Assign it directly next to your Cooking Pot for maximum cake throughput.
Gathering / Transport
VerdashCollects harvested crops and moves ingredients to storage.
Verdash covers Planting, Gathering, and Transporting — making it one of the most versatile workers for a cake base.
Ranch (Milk)
MozzarinaProduces Milk when assigned to a Ranch structure.
Milk is a required cake ingredient. You need at least one Mozzarina assigned to a Ranch. Build multiple Ranches if you want faster output.
Ranch (Eggs)
ChikipiProduces Eggs when assigned to a Ranch structure.
Eggs are a required cake ingredient. Chikipi is easy to catch early game, making it one of the first ranch Pals you should assign.
Ranch (Honey)
BeegardeProduces Honey when assigned to a Ranch structure.
Honey is the third required ranch ingredient for cake. Beegarde is mid-game accessible and should be one of your permanent ranch Pals.
Best Passive Skills for Cake Base Workers
All workers in a cake base benefit from the same general worker passive builds. Prioritise passives that increase work speed and reduce sleep time. The builds below are ordered from most powerful to most accessible.
Max Work Speed
Fastest possible crafting
Accessible
No downsides
Works Overnight
Never sleeps
Low Upkeep
Minimal hunger and SAN drain
Tip: For ranch Pals (Mozzarina, Chikipi, Beegarde), passive skills have no effect on ranch production speed. Focus your best passives on the active workers: Lyleen, Jormuntide, Jormuntide Ignis, and Verdash.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Pals do I need for cake?
You need Pals that cover every production step: Lyleen for planting wheat, Jormuntide for watering, Jormuntide Ignis for cooking, Verdash for gathering and transport, Mozzarina for milk, Chikipi for eggs, and Beegarde for honey.
What is the best planting Pal?
Lyleen is the best planting Pal in Palworld. It has the highest Planting work suitability level in the game, and it also brings Medicine Production and Handiwork coverage, making it useful even outside dedicated farm bases. It is a late-game Pal but can be bred, which makes it accessible with the right breeding pair.
Do I need ranch Pals for cake?
Yes. Cake requires Milk, Eggs, and Honey — none of which can be obtained by farming alone. These ingredients are only produced by ranch Pals assigned to a Ranch structure. Mozzarina produces Milk, Chikipi produces Eggs, and Beegarde produces Honey. All three are accessible early in the game.
What passives should my cake base workers have?
The best passives for cake base workers are Artisan, Work Slave, Serious, and Nocturnal for the maximum work speed build. If you want a build with no negative side effects, use Artisan, Serious, Lucky, and Workaholic. Note that passive skills do not affect ranch production — only the active working Pals benefit.
